Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
drew_hopkins Too long for me even though only 1 hr 36, short by today's standards. Part of the story has been exaggerated to make a story of it, namely the level of blame by the NTSB. But even this does not give enough interest to hold your attention for the full length of the movie. Nice acting, but that's about it. Just watch a short documentary on You Tube if you want to know about Flight 1549. Or read the Wikipedia page.
Ymbryne Very well done! The film is just like the real Sully himself (who always says he was just doing his job) - no fuss, no melodrama, no glorification of the man but just plain story telling that is absolutely entertaining. The film covers the actual events of Hudson landing, and then the aftermath of it all for Sully's career as a pilot and his reputation. The visuals and sound effects that take you through the events in the plane culminating in a Hudson landing are extraordinary. You really feel like you need to brace for impact! And this is while watching on Netflix. Must have been an amazing experience in the theatre. Tom Hanks and Aaron Eckhart are perfect in their roles. Rest of the cast did a great job too. Wonder how this film wasn't popular in the awards circuit. I mean here is an amazingly well told story of a remarkable man who did not panic under tremendous pressure, calmly made an excellent split second decision and saved so many lives and the Academy found nothing good in it? Cannot understand how they overlooked Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks and the film itself.
nofoloj This movie takes you as close to feeling what it was like to be on that flight as motion picture possibly can. A must-watch.
picketf There are many many inconsistencies all throughout the movie the most disturbing one is how the Airbus approaches the river on a level angle at 140mph. All you need is to have seen at least once in your life such a plane on a descent. The nose is pointed up specially during the stall that the pilot must have put the plane in to decrease its speed for touchdown. From the cockpit window no river would have been visible and that would have made it a much more poetic visual composition. It's just a deliberate mistake to increase the drama through "epicness" of landscape photography but since it's such a vital shot it ruined the whole movie for me. The things that were of interest all fell flat: Sully's background as a fighter pilot, his relationship to a guy who flew that particular Airbus for the very first time, the geese and how they were subsequently hunted and annihilated, the deep shock of the traffic control agent that thought he had lost a plane (rather than that goofy, spaced out mess), there is just so much material in real life for this movie and yet somehow Todd Komarnicki just managed to keep it as dull and formulaic as possible. The editing is well done except for a terrible bar scene that lasted way too long and had a barkeeper making a joke about a splash of water? To quote the movie: If not for Tom Hanks and Clint Eastwood - take them away from the equation - this movie is really bad.
